Bottom Line:
The memorandum of understanding worth about $40 billion signed between Russia’s Gazprom and the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) last week is not going to lead to massive Russian investments in the Iranian gas sector, but it has the potential to create paths of cooperation and bring the two gas giants closer to each other.
